Last I checked everybody was ready to ship Witten off in a Box to the sierra desert in week 3

I think that's what plays into it, dude played for 3+ weeks with his life on the line, and now for him to be amongst league leaders in receptions is sweet. As for the "comparison" Megatron is just a good benchmark as a target in the passing game.

This I can't argue with.

Hey I love Witten, I just saw Witten and Megatron, and thought it was weird to see the 2 in the same sentence.

You've heard of "finesse teams"? Well, we are a "stats team." We have the leading passer in Cowboys' history, but only one playoff victory in that time. We stopped a game in the middle of a 5-11 season to celebrate the league's all-time leading rusher about 5 years after his prime years were over.

but i dont know if this stat is necessarily good for the offense as a whole. i think dez and miles need more touches.

Dez does have 71 receptions, two less than Tony Gonzales. That ranks him 9th in the league. Dez has been targeted 103 times while Witten has been targeted 122 times. They aren't sacrificing any touches from Dez just to feed Witten. The ball is being spread around. Miles has been targeted 87 times and has caught 51 of them. That is a pretty good total considering how many snaps he has missed this season.
